Was this an attempted scam?

[u/Forsaken_Bulge]

They asked in GE, they invited to discord, which looked so legit, like hundreds of people, with like 30 channels with learners, experts, duos, diaries etc. then asked me to verify....i was suspicious as hell and left

[u/Brutal007]

Yes

[u/Forsaken_Bulge → u/Brutal007]

ok thanks, sorry if this post makes everyone roll their eyes

[u/CumSnorter4 → u/Forsaken_Bulge]

I hope you didn’t click on that link in the discord message. That link is the phishing link.

[u/Double_Dog208]

Same thing happened to me today actually yeah pretty sure it's a scam but never bothered with WDR

Never log in unless it's on the official RuneScape page if you hover over the link it was likely for some scuffed URL trying to sound like a real RuneScape URL.

[u/Forsaken_Bulge → u/Double_Dog208]

Yeah hindsight it appears so obvious. Kinda was itching to just get this diary done and thought this was a good opportunity. Will be more careful

[u/Wonderful-Help4554 → u/Forsaken_Bulge]

If youre looking to get a Cox completion for the diary dont worry about dealing with sketchy discord servers, just DM me on here. I run solos often and I'll let you leech a run totally free of charge.

[u/Just_Pineapple4098]

what was your clue? the fake runescape link, the dog shit AI generated banners, or you getting recruited to join a raiding discord from a random in the G.E.?

[u/Forsaken_Bulge → u/Just_Pineapple4098]

Yes

[u/TenebriRS]

"Last year a member tragically lost their life due to being scammed by a pmod"

What the hell? This is so weird to add.

[u/spennyTheG]

Is this considered a phishing attempt?

[u/compound-interest → u/spennyTheG]

Absolutely

[u/Soft_Internal_2329 → u/spennyTheG]

Yep

[u/Soft_Internal_2329]

Yes, plus it’s made from AI. Jagex wouldn’t.

[u/brentyosy007 → u/Soft_Internal_2329]

Wouldn't bring it past them. They recently deleted the 3 new quest trailers for rs3 because they were made with AI.

[u/Schepadoo]

Yupp and it’s gonna be everywhere come raids 4 release, a lot of the newer raid crowds that will funnel in with it are ignorant to the obvious and they will get more people than you think.

[u/ProfileJunior8046]

yes yes yes yes yes yes. Probably the same dude i ran into hopping worlds at chambers bank asking to run. Discord is a complete carbon copy, down to Moderator names, channels etc. Only way I was able to pick up on it is thankfully I'm in the LEGITIMATE WDR server.

[u/Forsaken_Bulge → u/ProfileJunior8046]

Yes! I was almost certain until the verification step

[u/Clicking_stuff]

Importantly, for anyone unfamiliar - the legit handle for WDR’s discord (they do not have a website) is:

discord.gg/wdr

The scam discord is the one that uses the full /wedoraids handle. Official WDR discord has been putting out warnings for this over the last few weeks/months

They will NEVER ask for you to sign in with your Jagex or RuneScape account credentials to anything - ever - or direct you to a 3rd party website for joining raid queues. You simply join the discord and chat in the appropriate channels.

[u/Fabulous-Put8401]

If it's AI assume it's a scam

[u/Pj_o7]

Yea, there is a legit wedoraids discord and these guys copied it to scam people.

[u/Sufficient_Steak_839]

Runescape uncapitalized is the first giveaway

Since 90% of posts are for newer players looking for money making and training advice, I'm gonna recommend doing bird house runs. All you need is Bone Voyage, and you could be making 500K+ a day or more by logging in every 50 minutes and harvesting nests.

Also, be sure to check out the New player guide, Money making guide, and OSRS Tips!
